IMPROVED PORTABLE :BATH-SEAT.

The Schedule referred to Ain these Letters Patent and making part: ofthe same vented a new and useful Portable Bath-Seat, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to a movable seat, which may be convenientlyattached to .a bath-tub, and readily removed, when not required for use.

It may serve to encourage personalv cleanliness, in places destitute otbath-rooins, by facilitating the .act of bathing, where it has, hithertobeen quite inconvenient.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the seat. attached to a tub, and

Figure 2, an under view ofthe same detached.

A is the seat, of wood, or any other suitable in'aterial. Itsdimensions, for medium sizes, are about fourthe necessary strength.

It is arranged to slope slightly toward the tub, to carry back theretoany water which may drip on it,

teen by sixteen inches, with sutiicientv thickness for v when .in use.

l B is a supporting-leg, of suitable length, driven or screwed into theunder side of the seat, or hinged to it, as may be desired.

It may be made adjustable, for tubs of various height-s, in anyconvenient manner. Two legs may be used, if preferred. v l

C C are projections from beneath the seat, to keep it in place, vhere itrest-s on the edge of' thetnb, the position otwhich is indicated by thedotted curved lines in iig. 2.

The form-number, or position of these projections Y may vary, providedthey accomplish their purpose.

An adjustable clamp may also be used, or a groove in the under side ofthe seat, to receive the' edge of the tub. g

The practical use of this apparatus is too apparent to requiredescription.

Small sizes, adapted for children, may he made for use wtha water-pail.

I claim as my invention- The seat A, constructed substantially asdescribed, and provided with the leg or legs B and projections C, ortheir equivalents, as and for the purposes specitied.
